Registry Great is a software program that claims to clean up your registry and speed up your pc. Does it work? Like most rogue anti-spyware programs, it doesn’t do what it claims. Don’t waste your money! Spyware is a threat that you do need to eliminate, but using hoaxes like these won’t work. If you know what spyware is, you know that getting rid of it as soon as possible is essential. This article will explain a little more in detail about what it is and what you need to do if you suspect you are a victim.
For those of you who have never heard of spyware, it is software that installs itself on your computer, usually when you are browsing. You sometimes get it when downloading files from unknown sources as well. If you have it, you will soon know it by some of the symptoms you begin having. Here are a few of the more common problems you will see when your pc is infected:
- Become barraged with pop-up ads
- Slow computer performance
- “Freezing” of windows
- New toolbar in your browser that wasn’t there before
Signs like these are very common when you are infected with spyware. Using programs like Registry Great will only add to the problem – so don’t download it! It proposes to clean up threats from your computer, but won’t do a thing – except slow down your computer because of its high CPU usage.
If you decide that you do have spyware, here are a few things it can do – and why you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. It tracks what you do when you are online. The sites you visit, your account passwords, even your personal business information is not safe when you are a victim. Your identity can even be stolen, along with your banking and credit card information. Getting rid of spyware is highly important!
Pop-up ads you begin getting may be related to searches you have performed while online. Don’t ever click on any pop-ups or advertisements that supposedly clean your computer of threats. You are asking for trouble if you do!
What exactly should you do if you decide you have been infected with spyware? Find good, reputable anti-spyware software that is highly recommended and reputable. Rogue programs like Registry Great are to be avoided at all costs, and there are many of them out there. Even when you do find a legitimate software, it often takes purchasing two to three different programs to get the desired results – a clean pc. Most can’t clear all of the infections in one scan, so purchasing additional software is necessary.
To avoid this, there is software that excels above the others, and is guaranteed to work the first time. Spyzooka is regarded as the best anti-spyware product available, and there are no others like it. If you are infected, use only the best available program that has a reputation like no other, Spyzooka. Registry Great? Not so great, don’t use it.

Most of the performance claims made by companies that sell registry cleaners are pure fantasy. Removing the wrong key can leave you with a computer that will not run or a program that will not work. Using Windows Live OneCare "full scan" is probably the safest and good enough for all users.

Registry Cleaners
Myth – "Registry Cleaners improve performance."
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/XPMyths.html
Reality – "A few hundred kilobytes of unused keys and values causes no noticeable performance impact on system operation. Even if the registry was massively bloated there would be little impact on the performance of anything other than exhaustive searches."
Notes – "Registry Cleaners can fix problems associated with traces of applications left behind due to incomplete uninstalls. So it seems that Registry junk is a Windows fact of life and that Registry cleaners will continue to have a place in the anal-sysadmin’s tool chest."
